Was told today that “slither” is not onomatopoeia, as there is no sound made when something slithers. Any thoughts?

That’s ridiculous. People are way too literal. Most onomatopoeias are not accurate representations of the sound, instead they are what we imagine the sound to be which is why a dog barking is different for each language.
